They so richly deserve it...would love to see Karlsson get rocked hard too just to rub salt into the wound. I hate the Sens and their fans so much it's not even funny.

Guest Stogey24 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The support from the wingers when Habs are in their own end is world's better Great game fellas! They can look so damn good when they have that quick transition going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCHabnut Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 That was a chippy game. I didn't realize Hoffman was so defensively responsible. Every time Karlsson was caught up ice, Hoffman bailed him out. I was impressed with his backchecking. As cherry says, methot and Smith are running around. Need to put that to rest next game. It was nice to See Methot cost them the game when he stepped up for a hit and cost the 2 on 1. This was a good example of analytics working in your favor. Ottawa plays a low possession game and paid for it finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 great game, the duffies got 1 fluke goal. Glad we had Price in there without him not sure if the result is the same. He can ave a rest now. Emelin managed to stay out of trouble, good to see. Maybe he got the hint nd will turn his game around, we do need him at his best for the playoffs. Byron the Sniper, who knew? Great game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Looked at the schedule and realized: 1) This was the beginning of a 6 game homestand. and of those 6 games only 2 are against teams currently in the playoffs (Ottawa both games.) 2) One more game is against a current playoff team (Ottawa), and 2 other games are against a team with a realistic shot at the post season (Tampa both games.) 10 games remaining, and 7 of them are against bad teams with nothing to play for... Habs SHOULD get 1st in the division when they're dealt that hand of cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 1 more point ties him with Peter Mahovolich for 18th all-time in Habs points. 4 more ties him with Guy Lapointe for 17th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Koivu, a great Hab in a dismal era. Price made the difference with that toe save in the 2nd. Without that, the Duffys might have been able to steal a point, instead of going back up the 417 with their arses soundly kicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if you get rid of the injuries (and cancer) for both of them, koivu probably has double what he ended up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRP Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 There's no questions I have about the game, other than, how come it was "all about Ottawa" night on SN, when that was the night before as well, and this game was in Habland? . It's like their agenda was to show that Ottawa actually has hockey heritage(which we know it does), but that was ridiculous on the in game part, after the Hometown hockey show...doh . The entire coverage all night was like Montreal was an evil alien, that we were all hoping would get defeated by Canada's team, the Ottawa Senators. Just ridiculously bias in my opinion... But that same bias, always makes the wins sweeter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Florida(2), Tampa (2), Detroit(2), Carolina, Dallas, Sabres & Sens left to play, not a terribly tough schedule (on paper anyways). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why we needed to ride Price back to back vs the Sens. Once we clinch, there will be plenty of good matchups for Montoya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Fairness, the show was in Montreal for the November 13th game when we played in Chicago, and it was the same type of coverage that night (ie Montreal centric) The whole idea of the show is to focus on hockey in the community its being broadcast from, so I don't have a huge issue with it being Ottawa centric. They already had their one game focused on Montreal. The Ottawa local hockey stories at intermission are fine. Now, Gary Galley on the other hand, that guy is a tool, and biased in game. Don't like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Galley is anti-hab...but so are others eg. Nick Kypreos on sportsnet sheesh Anyway for what its worth i prefer listening to Pierre Houde's game calling...he knows his Habs history, he always calls a good game, and he can be brutally honest when the Habs are not playing well...the rest of the RDS crowd however ...is a little (more than) loopy. Especially the AC crowd. I get a kick outta PJ Stock butchering the language - but give him points for staying in there. what's funny about PJ is that after years of being on the AC, his french is getting worse LOL...
